Upcoming Lucchese Family indictment against the Acting Boss and the Underboss

Go Figure: This Turncoat Mobster Has A Blog β€” And The Mob & The Feds Are Both FuriousThis Gangland article was posted during October,2020, I have included the main parts relating to the upcoming indictment against Michael DeSantis and Patty Dellorusso

For more than two years, Gang Land has learned, the Manhattan U.S. Attorney's Office has been putting together a racketeering case against acting Luchese boss Michael (Big Mike) DeSantis and underboss Patrick (Patty Red) Dellorusso who were publicly identified last year as the crime family's current leaders.

Details are scanty. The case, long in the making, has been slowed by delays in the trial of the former family leaders, and by the COVID-19 pandemic. And as DeSantis and Dellorusso wait for the hammer to drop on them, they're being forced to suffer and endure the views and thoughts of the turncoat wiseguy who's expected to finger them from the witness stand when prosecutors finally use his information to file their long-awaited indictment against them.

Pennisi had little to say from the witness stand about Madonna and Crea at their trial for the 2013 murder of former Purple Gang leader Michael Meldish. But there's no question he'll have plenty to say about DeSantis and Dellorusso if they decide to contest whatever charges the feds get around to filing against the duo.

Law enforcement sources declined to give up any specifics, but they β€” as well as defense lawyers in the Madonna-Crea case β€” say that Pennisi has given the feds evidence of criminal activity by Big Mike, Patty Red and other Lucheses whom he had dealings with over the years, and that an indictment is "just a matter of time."

Pennisi testified, he was "very friendly and close" to Big Mike and Patty Red. Dellorusso initially told him, he said, about their plot to seize control of the crime family from Crea and Madonna.

At the Madonna-Crea trial, Pennisi testified that in 2017, DeSantis and Dellorusso threatened to kill Crea, his capo son Stevie Junior, and other members of two Bronx crews that were headed by Crea if he and Madonna didn't cede control of the crime family to Big Mike and Patty Red. The takeover plot was sanctioned by Vittorio (Vic) Amuso, the family's jailed for life official boss.

Pennisi testified that he had learned of the plan early on from Dellorusso, a Long Island based capo with whom Pennisi became closely associated following his 2013 induction. Patty Red told him to contact Amuso's son-in-law, Joseph (Little

Interesting anecdote about Christopher β€œChristie Tick” Furnari, the former Lucchese Family Consigliere who mentored Vic and Gas

Credit goes to the website Cosa Nostra news - At the time Joseph Magliocco, in an attempt to consolidate his position as Profaci crime family boss, was making a lot of noise about wanting the street littered with bodies, especially of the Gallo brothers, before the Commission took over what was left of the tattered, troubled Profaci borgata.Magliocco ultimately proved to be too well insulated, even though his hold over what was renamed the Colombo crime family was tenuous.

Christopher "Christy Tick" Furnari, then a low-level Luchese mobster, happened to get jammed up when he was caught meeting with a Magliocco lieutenant while on parole.Inside Furnari's home while arresting him for violating parole, Shur attempted to flip the loyal soldier, who's response was, basically, "stick it up your ass -- get lost."

"The fear of being sent back to prison was simply not enough to make Furnari crack."

Furnariβ€”filled with contempt for the federal agents rifling through his belongings and discovering photographs of the Gallo brothers hidden inside a bibleβ€”let loose sarcastic retorts that indirectly confirmed Shur's suspicion that "Christy Tick" had been sought to hit the Gallo brothers.

Asked about the photos, Christy Tick said: "I sell life insurance and my boss gave them pictures to me. He told me to avoid selling life insurance policies to those guys. They might not be living too much longer."

If you are interested in knowing more about Furnari, here is a link to a post I made about Furnari
